Announced at RE+ 2023 in Las Vegas, Sol-Ark says it has chosen Enteligent’s NMax Rapid Shutdown with Optimization platform for its dc module-level power electronics (MLPE) product line.
Sol-Ark’s 0900-80V, powered by Enteligent, will fil a niche within the Sol-Ark product line and performance as way more than a speedy shutdown gadget (RSD), and embrace options resembling energy optimization and information monitoring.
“Initially, I was skeptical that panel-level optimization would provide any appreciable benefit over the string-level MPPT of the inverter and the PV module diodes, but once we tested Enteligent’s technology, we knew this product would be a game-changer,” stated Tom Brennan, the CEO and CTO of Sol-Ark.
Sol-Ark’s testing signifies that the 0900-80V module, powered by Enteligent, gives between 25% and 38% extra power throughout shady circumstances.
How it really works | The power optimization performance of the Sol-Ark 900-80V, powered by Enteligent, is enabled solely when essential. The firm says this maximizes energy effectivity whereas growing gadget longevity. When shading, snow masses, differing angles of incidence, or different components trigger the output of PV modules to be totally different, the embedded microprocessor adjusts the present output of that PV module to maximise the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) each individually and the string as an entire.
“With Enteligent’s NMax Rapid Shutdown with Optimization solution, Sol-Ark can provide the most comprehensive product on the market to support solar panel installers and give their customers more options at an affordable price point,” stated Sean Burke, the CEO and Co-founder of Enteligent. “Sol-Ark’s selection of our optimization platform validates our technology and its ability to increase energy harvesting.”
Panel-level information is transmitted over powerline communications (PLC), offering easy set up with out the necessity for a wi-fi community or further wire runs.
The information from the panels, which may be seen on Sol-Ark’s PV Pro monitoring platform or a PC-connected Windows utility, allows installers to troubleshoot efficiency points, and empowers householders to trace the efficiency.
